With summer just around the corner, Gucci has us dreaming of the Riviera with its sun-drenched Lido collection, a celebration of Italian coastal glamour – something we all need in our wardrobe this summer season.
Designed to capture the carefree yet polished spirit of a Mediterranean escape, Gucci Lido for her is a curated collection of swimwear, ready-to-wear, accessories, and shoes that bring timeless elegance to warm-weather dressing.
Here are my favourite pieces from the collection that perfectly embody that ‘La Dolce Vita’ summer feeling.
Gold-tone Clip Earrings
Statement jewellery is a summer essential, and Gucci’s gold-tone clip earrings are a great piece if you want to dip your toe into the world of Gucci. Sculpted in a seashell-inspired silhouette, these earrings bring a touch of oceanic whimsy to your look. Despite their bold appearance, they’re surprisingly lightweight because of their hollow design. The secret to their comfort and versatility is that they’re clip-on, so you can wear them whether or not you have pierced ears. Pair them with sun-kissed skin and a linen sundress for the ultimate beach-to-bar look.
Lido Terry-Jacquard Swimsuit
No summer wardrobe is complete without a standout swimsuit, and the Lido terry-jacquard swimsuit is a beautiful piece to add to your collection. Featuring Gucci’s iconic ‘GG’ pattern, this piece is both nostalgic and modern, and the contrast white lining peeking through adds depth and polish, elevating it far beyond a typical poolside look. This swimsuit can easily double as a bodysuit under high-waisted shorts or a skirt, making it ideal for transitioning from beach day to evening drinks.
GG Marmont 2.0 Raffia Shoulder Bag
Summer bags should be both beautiful and functional, and Gucci’s GG Marmont 2.0 leather-trimmed striped raffia shoulder bag checks both boxes. This bag is crafted from natural raffia and finished with smooth leather trims, this bag is a chic nod to vintage seaside style. The gold-tone hardware adds a luxe edge, and the versatile chain strap allows you to wear it crossbody or on the shoulder. I absolutely love this bag, and it’s a great alternative to the classic summer basket bag, for those who want something a little more chic.
GG Square-Frame Tortoiseshell Sunglasses
Oversized sunglasses are a summer staple, and Gucci’s GG square-frame tortoiseshell acetate sunglasses bring drama in the best way. With a bold, square silhouette and classic tortoiseshell finish, they instantly elevate any look. The gradient lenses are both stylish and practical, and the iconic GG logo at the temples adds a touch of subtle branding (a quiet luxury girls dream). Slip them on with a headscarf and a maxi dress for pure retro-glam, and bring a touch of Italy to the UK!
Striped Embossed Cotton-Blend Twill Mini Dress
Finally, the striped embossed cotton-blend twill mini dress is a playful nod to ‘60s resort style, and as we all know, you really can’t go wrong with a stripe. The blue and white colourway feels fresh and nautical, while the all-over GG embossing adds texture and a luxury interest. This mini dress is a great transitional piece which can be easily worn with flats for during the day, or elevated with espadrilles or heels for a nautical evening look.
Whether you’re planning a coastal getaway, or you just want to channel Italian summer vibes from home, these pieces bring a sense of sunshine and chicness to your wardrobe. Gucci has once again proven that luxury and leisure go hand-in-hand and is a firm favourite on my wishlist this season.
